Wind Causes Power Outages in Sacramento

High winds are causing problems for SMUD throughout the Sacramento area. Your best resource during outages may be your smartphone.

At 1:40 this afternoon a number of customers in downtown Sacramento lost power, this was an hour after 4,800 customers in Midtown and East Sacramento had power restored. Sacramento City Hall, Cal-EPA and even KCRA experienced a loss of power.

"Obviously if the power's out you won't be able to get on the computer, go to SMUD.org and click on the outages tab -- you'll be able to see real time what the situation is as far as outages go," Capra said.
